"I was wondering who I should duet with for the song. One day I ate out with my friends and I asked someone that I wanted to do a duet with Wendy. Because I really loved her voice and they called her up, right away. And asked her if she wanted to do a duet with me and she accepted the offer. I want to thank Wendy again. I was really shy."
